In the wake of Nirvana's success, like so many other bands of the early 90's, Paw signed to a major label and were touted as the next big thing (I think Spin magazine ran a huge feature on the band before they even had a record out). Of course success alluded them, but Dragline remains a solid slab of beefy alt-rock that any fan of Seaweed, Sponge and Soundgarden should dig. The first single off this album, "Jessie", was about a dog; That may have hindered their chances at superstardom, we'll never know for sure. What we do know is that this album truly is a "lost classic" that deserves to be heard by a much larger audience.
